PlanetMosh Keeping it Metal
Following on from their 2015 debut, Missa Defunctorum: Requiem Mass in A Minor, UK tech-fuelled black metal collective, DENIGRATA have unveiled the brand new video for their track, Kyrie Eleison.
Their first full length video, Kyrie Eleison features a cameo from none other than the master of occult and graphic novels himself, Alan Moore.
DENIGRATA‘s inherent transcendental witchery serves as the theme for the video that was recorded on film rather than digital, creating a darker, more esoteric rendering. Alan Moore’s involvement with DENIGRATA was born of friendship and a mutual love of the occult; his many creative visions coalescing with DENIGRATA‘s own appreciation of the wyrd.
The video matches the pain and beauty of their music, placing it amongst the cold, furious landscape of England in winter that seeks to connect with its heritage of the occult and witchcraft. Kyrie Eleison is a relentless immersion that plunges you into its abyss, enraged and sorrowful in its turmoil, leaving you fighting for breath.
Of the video, vocalist Denigrata Herself commented:
“It was both an incredible and important experience working with Alan Moore; much of his recent work, such as Show Pieces and Jerusalem centre on our shared home town of Northampton, UK, which is a strange, intoxicating place with a rich, dark history. This is something that informed both of our perspectives and that sense of a shared understanding of the esotericism of the place permeated the development of the video. Denigrata also wanted the engagement with the environment to be real, not photo-shopped or digitally altered. Consequently standing half-naked in a freezing lake in February presented that opportunity and any look of pain on the band’s faces is authentic!”
DENIGRATA’s debut album Missa Defunctorum: Requiem Mass in A Minor is available via the band’s own Bandcamp page HERE.
